The Multae Manus Collective’s mission is to gather resources, gain knowledge, and absorb creativity that nourishes the artist within for creating better, more important artwork in every genre. We come together for inspiration, insight, conversation, focus, sharing, learning, teaching, critique, trusting, education, good practices, elevating, supporting, exercises, community, and the business of art. It takes many hands to make a collective, to support one another, and to learn and grow together.

We keep each other encouraged and accountable in our studio practices.This is our first group exhibition, and we are very excited to show you what we have accomplished! 5 Artists will show new works and each body of work is remarkably unique!

Ann Bryant is a self-taught artist that takes inspiration from the many colors andtextures of nature. Bobby Hughes says, “I want you to “feel” my paintings, as in touch them!” Karen Mosbacher is an expressionist painter, known for painting classical and jazz music. Cass Mullane’s mixed media series reflects moments of joy and wonder that the spring brings in the mountains. Emily Solomon says, “I’m starting to push myself to share my emotional journey, and a greater understanding of trauma.”

You don’t want to miss this enticing exhibition with such a broad range of works! If you are interested in being a part of the Collective come to the exhibit and talk with us!

This event is free to the public. Donations to the City Auditorium project are welcomed.

This exhibition is in its 15th year having been started by Kim Costello in 2008. High school students from different schools create 4 foot by 4 foot tiles with the only limitations being that it has to be the full 4'x4' size and that it hangs from the ceiling. The students’ creativity has astounded us every year.
This is a judged exhibit and offers the students an opportunity to be judged not just by their peers but also by the public. Come in anytime during normal business hours to vote on your favorite tile and also vote online on our Facebook page .

Students with the most votes both in-store and online will receive gift certificates for framing or art. Voting starts at the reception and continues until February 14th, 2023.

A reception will be held on 3rd Friday, December 16th, 2022,  4-7 p.m., to present the students’ tiles at Academy Art & Frame Company. This is our annual holiday pizza party and we hope you will come out in support of our future artists.

Join Willson and McKee for stories and songs of winter!

The scent of peat smoke, the sound of popping fire, the sight of dancing shadows. These are the gifts of winter.

Come closer to the fire and settle in for an evening of traditional songs and stories from Ireland and Scotland, with Willson and McKee.

“The hardening of the stream and breath, the stiffening of the bones…
The silence of the farmer’s field, the empty finch’s home…
All echo in a winter’s heart
The hollow frozen sound
And only in the flickering hearth
Warm dreams and hopes are found”

Offered as a part of PPLD's Winter Adult Reading Program.

Korean-American chef Ray, cares for his dying father but struggles to connect with the man who never understood his life’s calling in the kitchen. When his uncle arrives unannounced to cook an unexpected last meal, they share more in food than they ever could in words. This poignant play explores food as nourishment, not only to the body, but also to our individual heritage and shared humanity.

Performed in English and Korean, and supertitled in both languages, Aubergine offers an intimate look at the ways that heritage, food, and family can transcend language to share love across all kinds of barriers. This production will be directed by Lisa Marie Rollins, and promises a new perspective on the indelible link between food and family.
